Seriously... this holding the ball rule at the bottom of the pack when zero prior opportunity needs a good looking at

[Leather Poisoning]

Rhan Hooper has been a big in for us this week.

 

[Flukey!]

Yay Roughie

 

[Ledger]

About time Roughy!!!

FFS Keep it up, this will be our worst and most disappointing loss if we can't hold on.

 

[Off The Couch]

For the love of god - what the @#%^ with our kick ins. It will cost us big time

No it doesn't. Coaches and players have to play by teh rules. Even if you dont have prior YOU HAVE TO ATTEMPT, you just cant lie there hanging onto to the ball holding it in for a ball up.


Laws of Australian Football
(b) has not had a prior opportunity to dispose of the football, the field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against that Player if, upon being Correctly Tackled, the Player does not Correctly dispose or attempt to Correctly Dispose of the football after being given a reasonable opportunity to do so.

 

[Hawker_Ant]

Garbage kickout from Lewis at half-back..... waited waited kicked to contest.... goal

 

[Flukey!]

26 points up. Is it enough?

Really... when you have three players on top of you stopping you from making any attempt... there needs to be a lot more repsect the guy getting in and under and trying to get possession. Should they stop and look at each other and say: "you get it, you lose the football?"

The new rules are wrong. I don't blame the umpires for that, I blame the rules commitee and Geischen.

 

[Off The Couch]

I would be far more confident if we had actually won a final quarter this year Please don't let all this hard work go to waste

 

[IBleedBrownNGold]

Gee that was a stressful quarter. We need to lift boys! Get the pressure back on in close... in the middle. Carn Hawks!

 

[Flamin Joe]

It should be, but the way we've going in our last qtr's, we could be in trouble. On the plus side though we managed to slow things down in the last 5 minutes of the QTR and Carlton are down two on the bench. We need to use this to our advantage.

 

[Baz_hawk]

We need to have a big last quarter. That quarter we dropped off so much it was embarrassing

 

[Spook]

26 points up. Is it enough?

No.. carlton kicked 4 goals in 10 minutes in the 3rd. He have to keep attacking and running hard... We have to kick at least 2 or 3 I beleive

 

[Hawker_Ant]

Perfect Hodge

 

[Ledger]

First 15 mins of their quarter will decide it, if we score a few and keep them goalless, we've done it otherwise they can easily run away from us.

Need our forwards to be accurate.

 

[Flamin Joe]

Hodge with a ripper!!! Carn Hawks!

 

[asanque]

Hodge.

Superstar

 

[Flukey!]

That helps.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Hodge! Lewis!

Good start to the quarter!

 

[blue gunslinger]

we have been our own worst enemy today

 

[Hawker_Ant]

Still say 50m penalty is insane, rather see the SANFL 25m rule

 

[Spook]

lucky I dont own a cat
